HORSERACES AT FT. WAYNE Races Will Be Held Under Lights Every Night Next Week Fort Wayne. Ind., July 14 —(Special)—The showmanship of several Fort Wayne sportsmen and business men seems to be blossoming out this year in new form and color. I judging from the appearance and magnitude of the exhibition to be staged each night of next week at the local Speedway. Until recently the program was confined to three harness horse racing events for each of the four nights. July 17-20. with purses ranging from $250.00 to SS(H) each. To this was added one running horse race for each night. Later it was de ided to carry this program over to include Saturday, July 21. Now, in addition to all this comes the announcement of a big free horse show and horse races for Monday night, July 16, with no admission and everyone invited. The latest development in this big prominade is the arrival of J. C. Weer Shows which bring with it some thirty concessions, including various circus side shows and rides of all kinds and descriptions. In the harness horse events will ■be included some of the country’s best trotters and pacers, such as Colonel Tom, 2:00%. who only last Wednesday night at the Toledo Grind Circuit races defeated the world's thatnpion racing pacer. His Majesty, 2:ofrH- Over a hundred other Grand Circuit horses are schedule! to arrive at the local Speedway over the week-end all of which is exidence that he Fort Wayne backers seem to carry out their plan to make this weeks events second to none in the entire country this season.

HITLER TELLS HIS STORY OF BLOODY REVOLT (CONTINUED Ft om PA GF ONE to Judge. As he told the story, it was new in its entirety not only to Germans, who have heard it in fragments, but to the outside world which heard it in disconnected form because only a few Nazi leaders knew it all. On June 29, he said, he learned that the revolt was to be staged the next day, that he was to be put under "protective arrest” and then, if necessary, murdered. The rest of the story is known. He filled it in by giving the first official summary of deaths: Thirteen storm troop leaders and civilians killed in resisting arrests; three suicides; three as picked bodyguards shot for mistreating prisoners; five Nazi civilians executed as plotters; 19 high storm troop officers, 31 minor leaders and privates and three men shot as plotters. Total 77. His :: final accounting” is summed up as: Gained: Peace instead of a threatened civil war. Lost—77 lives. Hitler also gave more clearly than perhaps ever before his own idea of the Nazi party. First, he said, Hindenburg, the field marshal president, was the nation’s chief leader, supreme and beyond interference. Secondly, the ReiThewhr was

the army of the nation, directly under Hindenburg and in no way responsible to or a part of the Nazi the Nazi party was a political entity like other political parties, pledged to a new Germany. LARGE DAMAGE DONE BY FIRE FRIDAY NIGHT (CONTINUED Hatchery and the Hocker Drug store were I also used. The cisterns provided just enough water to extinguish the | blaze. All the water was drawn from them in the two hours' battle. Thick brick walls on the Monroe Meat Market and the Badders Grocery store buildings largely confined the fire to the center of the block. The ruins were still smoldering this morning. The flaming spectacle quickly attracted a large crowd from Moni roe and Adams county. The crowd . assisted In carrying out furniture - and stock of nearby buildings i when it was fqared that none of the buildings dould be saved. ! Considerable damage was done , by breakage. Mr. and Mrs. Otis Hocker and their son, Kermit, had retired j when Mabel Hocker discovered the flames. The family ran out in their night clothes. Mr. Hocker said he probably ( will rebuild his drug store. It is ( not probable that the Monroe , State Bank will rebuild the two \ business places owned by itself as ( it is in the process of liquidation.
